A Caspian Airlines Boeing 737 was seized at Istanbul Airport on Monday by court-ordered enforcement officers acting on a debt claim of approximately €3 million, stranding passengers who had already boarded a flight bound for Iran.
Lawyers and bailiffs representing the creditor, aviation representation and supervision company ACM Temsil Gözetim, arrived at the aircraft — registered EP-KPB — as it was ready for departure and served the seizure order before it could take off, according to Anadolu Agency.
